morgs Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Shola off, bigi on. Atm we seem intent on playing football without the ball. Need to change that to get anything here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 1-1 is about deserved, if slightly generous on us - no doubt that everton have been the better side. i'd like us to switch it around and put cisse down the middle, only problem is that everton are such an aggressive, direct side that i can see our front line wilting without having Shola's physical presence. Our best moments have been when we've matched their aggression and pressed them back - props to anita, tiote, marveaux etc on that front. but aside from Obertan's sheer pace and Marveaux's quick passing we don't have appear to be opening them up in the same way that they are slicing through us each time they get it forward. anyway whatever happens shola only has another 20 minutes in him at the best so we'll have to switch it around at some point.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Nobody criticising Krul? Ball went in near middle of the goal and he jumped to his left before the kick. Should never go in if he stays where he's supposed to be. Don't be daft man it was Tiote's fault apparently. Obertan has to take responsibility. Why turn away from a modern football? Gutless. Think Baines should be called out for kicking the ball that hard. Krul can't be blamed, man. He didn;t see the ball until it came through the wall. He cant see the ball and he has to decide which way to start going. He chose wrong, that's all. Cant blame him for going to his left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I think both our penalty shouts were fairly soft, but could easily have been given. Thought Obertan's was really 50-50 having seen the replay; Jagielka's arms are right across him. Shola was going down anyway, i'd have been fuming if i were an Everton fan and it have been given.

Tiresias Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It's annoying we give away way too many free kicks they're dangerous from, and they score from the one that should never have been given Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Need to hit them on the break, we have the fucking players to do it. Just take shola off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Has Shola done owt? Too much hoof after the early successful hoof. He's good for 15-20 minutes of help. We might get ten more minutes in the second. He's never ever a starter. Ranger on after 70 minutes I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We are a very small team if you take Shola off and they're very big. IMO Shola's playing until he can no longer walk, then he'll just stand there on the pitch. Like a spider with his legs pulled off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It doesn't matter if it's Neville's foot anyway, because he isn't control of the ball when he ploughs through the back of Shola - Shola positions his body to win the foul and put himself between the ball and Neville. Any other area of the pitch, it's a freekick. Insanely easy decision to make - the prick makes the wrong decision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Just me who thought Ameobi was decent? You're causing us problems every time the ball's in our box, especially in the air. Shola is only judged on his mistakes, not on his overall contribution. I'm surprised you don't know that yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Having Shols on for defending set pieces doesn't really work when he conceeds 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well I think that's a pretty fair scoreline tbh, even if their goal wasn't. In general play they've been well on top, while we sat on the early goal for far too long giving them time to find their feet and build confidence. The goal will give them another boost, we need to wake up soon. Spot on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Shola for Ba, but basically we have the same performance. We look very nervous in possession and lack fluency through the midfield. I've lost count of the number or times when we get a turnover, and end up passing the ball back to Krul after half a dozen nervous passes designed to keep rather than use possession. Spot on, it's horrific. Don't know if it's through playing Pards style for so long but the majority don't seem to have the nounce to 'see' or play an early pass. Compounded by the poor movement ahead of them so often perhaps but I've seen ample opportunities for an early pass, maybe sky camera assisting me - sure I have a different view to the players but.. Cabs would have seen them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We can still do this, had our chances in the first half and that goal will make us angry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Fellani is the difference for me like.. some height, power and forward drive in central mid. We don't have anything like him, I know its not high up anyones list but he is the type of player we need through the middle. From the links to Sissoko and Lallana an attacking midfielder is certainly on our list, I don't know where on the list it sits though. Back to today, it doesn't help that Anita and Tiote both sit back as Tiote and Cabaye did all last year, we get easily bossed in midfield and offer them chance after chance to attack.

KaKa Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 If we come out lined up exactly the same way I'll cry. Have to change things at the half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Theyve been much better than us, but still disappointed to not be winning. Decent goal by Baines, but we have to stop giving free kicks away. Frustrating. I really don't get this at all like, it's been a good game that I thought we shaded personally, we certainly haven't been outclassed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should never go in if he stays where he's supposed to be. You need to watch that again. :lol: Pata's bang on. Was extremely predictable what was going to happen, as good a strike as it was. Hop to the left. Watch it go past your right. Happens time and again in this league. Given was criminal for it. It was a stunning strike but there's no need for that hop to the left as if it's a curler from that far away he'll always get it, no need to predict. It's straight to his hands if he just stays on the right side of the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
